Kuzan's eyes were resolute, and he condensed a pair of ice blades in his palms.
"It seems you've made up your mind to die," Rosen's eyes blazed with killing intent.
Kuzan attacked Rosen again.
Vortex! Rosen raised two fingers, and a spatial vortex appeared behind Kuzan.
Kuzan immediately protected his body with Armament Haki.
At that moment, Rosen leaped forward, his right fist burning with flames, Ghost!
Kuzan felt the oppressive force rushing towards him but had no time to dodge.
Rosen's fist had already pierced through Kuzan's chest.
Pfft—
Kuzan vomited blood, his face pale.
Suddenly, a terrifying pressure descended from the sky.
An old man with a full beard fell towards Rosen like a cannonball.
Rosen pulled out his fist and looked at the figure in mid-air who was striking with a punch.
"Kuzan! This old man is here to save you!"
At this moment, Garp descended like a God, his Armament Haki covering his right arm, like a falling star.
Purple lightning surged and leaped around him, and he unleashed a punch with unstoppable power.
Galaxy Bone Crusher!!
Rosen's eyes narrowed, his right foot braced backward, and his right arm retracted to gather strength.
Conqueror's Haki and Armament Haki condensed in Rosen's right fist, and black lightning erupted.
A punch with no technique was thrown, full of sincerity.
The two almost simultaneously threw a punch at each other.
The terrifying fist forces collided in the air.
It was like the collision of a galaxy, more like a supernova exploding in the air.
Everyone's vision and perception blurred at this instant.
This strike was evenly matched between the two.
Or rather, Rosen had a slight advantage.
After landing, Garp staggered back a few steps.
He looked at Rosen, then at Kuzan not far away.
Garp's anger was ignited once more.
Rayleigh was too shocked to speak; Admiral Kuzan was so vulnerable in front of Rosen.
And Marine Hero, Iron Fist Garp, couldn't even gain an advantage against Rosen.
"Take him away," Rosen glanced at the heavily injured Kuzan.
Garp was Luffy's Grandpa and Dragon's father; he couldn't bring himself to kill him.
Moreover, Sabaody Archipelago was not a good place to start a war; it was full of civilians.
If Rosen and Garp went all out, countless people here would die.
Garp reined in his Aura; he certainly wanted to avenge Kuzan.
However, Kuzan was clearly more important, and his injuries couldn't be delayed for too long.
"One day, I will avenge Kuzan," Garp said.
"You won't have that chance," Rosen said indifferently, "You're no match for me now."
At this moment, Garp's warship slowly docked.
Garp picked up Kuzan and boarded the warship.
Rayleigh said meaningfully, "That old man is not to be trifled with."
"Neither am I."
After finishing the Conqueror's Haki training, Rosen and Bullet left Sabaody Archipelago.
"Where to next?"
This time they switched to a small boat.
The Marine warship they stole was too conspicuous.
Just like this time, Kuzan discovered Rosen had come to Sabaody Archipelago because of the Marine warship.
Rosen didn't want to go to a place only to be chased by the Marine from behind.
However, this brief encounter with Garp also made Rosen realize his shortcomings.
His various attributes completely crushed Garp, yet he didn't achieve an overwhelming victory in that one strike.
This was unreasonable, very unreasonable.
So Rosen planned to develop a set of boxing techniques suitable for himself during the upcoming journey.
Rosen's mind recalled countless images of powerful individuals punching.
Senju Hashirama, Senju Tobirama, Uchiha Madara, Gojo Satoru / Satoru Gojo, Geto Suguru / Suguru Geto, Sukuna, Garp, Bullet, Rayleigh…
Each of them was a master of physical combat, each with unique physical techniques.
And the image in Rosen's mind finally froze.
Rosen recalled the punch he threw at the sea when he comprehended 'Ghost' that day.
His Ghost was Blazing Sun, so his boxing technique would be called Blazing Sun Fist.
Fierce, scorching, domineering!
During the subsequent journey, Rosen began to use Bullet as his practice partner.
Bullet's strength was sufficient; as long as he didn't intend to kill him, it wouldn't be easy to defeat him.
And the battle-hungry Bullet wished he could spar with Rosen every day.
Finally, their small boat docked at the Seven Water City pier.
Although Bullet was curious about why Rosen came here, he still followed obediently, not asking a single question.
Inside a bar in Seven Water City.
A bartender with two horns on his head and dressed in a black suit was wiping a wine glass in his hand.
Just then, Rosen and Bullet walked in.
"Welcome, what can I get for you two…?"
Blueno looked at the two with some fear.
The latest wanted posters: White-Haired Ghost, 1.5 billion Berries bounty; Bullet, 1 billion Berries bounty.
Why would these two big figures come to Seven Water City?
Rosen and Bullet sat at the bar and drank.
Bullet glanced at Blueno, his eyes narrowing: "Are you looking for this guy?"
Blueno had a scent on him that Bullet disliked.
This was a World Government person!
Although Bullet had been imprisoned for nearly twenty years, he still felt that some of Blueno's habits were very similar to those of the World Government's CP organization.
"Not looking for him, but his superior," Rosen said.
"Is he strong?"
Rosen shook his head: "Very weak, probably only a little stronger than this little guy in front of us."
At this moment, Bruce was behind the wine cabinet. Rosen and Bullet's conversation, transmitted through the hidden listening device in the bar counter, all entered Bruce's ears.
They seemed to be after Rob Lucci.
Did they know Lucci?
Bruce had no sense of duty as a CP9 Agent.
Because he knew very well that he couldn't possibly defeat Rosen and Bullet.
Two super wanted criminals with bounties over a billion Berries.
They were simply not someone he could afford to provoke.
Bruce quietly left the back of the bar and came to the Galley-La Company.
"Yo, isn't that Bruce? Why are you here?" A shipwright saw Bruce and immediately came over to greet him.
Bruce looked furious: "Your shipwright, Rob Lucci, drank at my place yesterday and ran off without paying! I want a satisfactory answer from you now, or else I'll file a complaint against you!"
"Huh? Lucci actually skipped out on his bill?" The shipwright looked at Bruce in surprise: "I'll go notify Lucci right away. If Lucci can't give you an answer, I'll report it to the boss."
The shipwright immediately entered the shipyard, and a moment later, he called Lucci out.
"Sorry… I was drunk yesterday and forgot to pay," Lucci said coolly, "Come home with me; I'll pay you for the drinks."
Lucci turned and walked away, and Bruce immediately followed Lucci's steps.
After turning the corner, Bruce caught up with Lucci.
"Two people came to my bar: White-Haired Ghost, with a 1.5 billion bounty, and Bullet, the Demon Descendant, with a 1 billion bounty. I overheard their conversation; they're looking for you."
Lucci's footsteps paused, and he looked up, only to see Rosen standing on the wall.
"Go!"
Lucci and Bruce instantly burst forth with astonishing speed, fleeing like wild horses unbridled.
Lucci had only seen Rosen, and he had already determined that he couldn't possibly be Rosen's opponent.
Rosen watched the direction Lucci fled, then stood still and waited.
Lucci naturally had his secret escape route.
After entering the secret passage, he and Bruce went all the way to a desolate coastline, where a small boat was hidden, specifically for escaping.
However, as soon as the two left the secret passage, they saw Rosen and Bullet standing at the entrance.
Lucci and Bruce, as professionally trained Agents, knew that escape was impossible at this point.
So, the two immediately entered combat mode.
Six Powers: Soru!
The two kicked towards Rosen and Bullet from left and right.
But Rosen and Bullet just stood there, letting the two kick them as they pleased.
The two immediately felt as if their feet were kicking against steel plates.
That absolute, unshakeable disparity filled them with despair.
Seeing that they couldn't defeat Rosen and Bullet, Lucci and Bruce immediately fled in opposite directions.
But their movements instantly froze.
They had no idea what happened; their bodies were simply fixed in place, still in their running postures. The next moment, they felt a blur before their eyes and fainted.
"Want to play something fun?" Rosen asked Bullet.
"What's fun?"
Rosen's palms began to deform and then detached from his arms.
The detached palms continued to squirm and grow larger.
Gradually, the two palms transformed into Two-Tails Matatabi and Three-Tails Isobu.
Bullet looked at the seventy to eighty-meter tall giant beasts in front of him, his mouth wide open, his face full of shock.
"What… what is this?"
"They are called Tailed Beasts. You defeat them."
Bullet's Aura suddenly surged, and he leaped high, delivering a heavy punch to Matatabi's head.
Matatabi's massive body slammed heavily onto the ground.
However, this blow did not heavily injure Matatabi; instead, it ignited its ferocity.
Roar—
Bullet, still in mid-air, was immediately blown away by Matatabi's roar.
Matatabi condensed a blue Tailed Beast Ball in its mouth and fired it at Bullet's falling position.
Boom—
A pillar of fire, accompanied by a terrifying impact, knocked down a large section of the nearby forest trees.
Bullet spat out blood-tinged saliva, his clothes already torn.
Taking a small Tailed Beast Ball head-on still caused him no small amount of damage.
Isobu's forelimb slammed heavily on the ground, and dozens of huge, sharp stone pillars suddenly rose from the ground.
Bullet hurriedly dodged Isobu's attack. Matatabi's blue flames around its body solidified, condensing dozens of blue fireballs that chased and bombarded Bullet like a machine gun.
Rosen watched the battle between Bullet and Isobu, Matatabi with great interest.
Bullet's strength was unquestionable, but fighting two Tailed Beasts alone was still a bit strenuous.
Of course, with his strength, defeating the two Tailed Beasts was certainly not impossible.
